Why learn from a teacher?
Teaching Tailored to YOU
While neither knitting nor crochet are hard skills, they can be tricky to learn . Yarn crafts are an art and while you can learn to create from an online video or a book, it’s often much easier to learn from a teacher. The teaching process is interactive, you’ll get immdiate feedback on the process. Not only will you make fewer mistakes, you’ll create good yarn habits from teh start and most importantly, I’ll help you learn to create what you want to create..

Don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.
What's the difference between knitting and crochet?
Knitting and crocket are two ways to weave fabric from yarn. They’re very similar, yet very different. Crochet is (usually) faster and the stitches are more strctured. That’s why toys (amagurumi), blankets and bags are crocheted more often than they’re knitted. Knitting allows for more options with stitches and often entails lace, more complicated patterns and clothing.
Neither is better or more fun. Some people do both, some concentrate on one art.
It's been a long time since I've played with yarn, how do I know if it I'm a novice or intermediate.
The good news is that it doesn’t matter.
I’ll meet you where you are in your journey and we can advance your skills to whereever you’d like to take them.
Where do you teach your classes?
I have a few places where I do my teaching. Typically, I find a coffee shop, library or other fun place. My class sign upd allow you to choose from one of my “usual spots” or we can find a convenient place between us.
What do I need to bring?
Novice learners need nothing but a great attitude. My class fees for a first time class include the materials you’ll need to get started and learn. I’ve found that some yarns and needles work better than others for learners.
I'm a good knitter, but I'm stuck!
EVERYONE gets stuck sometimes. I teach a couple of classes that might help.
- SOS: I’m happy to help you unstuck yourself if you’re having pattern problems.
- Pattern advice: I can help you choose the right pattern and give you a roadmap to tackle a daunting project.
- New stitches: learning new stitches is so mch fun, whether it’s brioche, waffle, fair isle or antying else, I can help
